I DON'T CARE about polygamy. I care about the "honor killings" that some dark ages cultures surround it with.
But for the note, the notion of "protecting" for Islam is the sane of Camorra or other mafia.

You've made 5 lengthy posts describing how polygamy is unfair and it is adultery and it is allowed in Islam while at the same Islamic law on adultery are harsh so this position and biased, and no you are telling me that you don't care about polygamy? you are just being to dodgy here, so you admit that your previous argument doesn't stand, so we can talk about "honor killing" ?

No I didn't. You are so up to moral judgments that pointing out the simple FACT that polygamy is a form of adultery is seen by you as criticism. It's only unfair for sexism.

You got me totally wrong, I DO NOT condemn polygamy - not my business. What I condemn is the fact that Muslims, being a culture that allows polygamy, harasses people due to adultery. If you want polygamy then stop lashing, killing and god knows what about adultery, polygamy is just another name for allowed adultery! - Usually sexist, like any Dark Aged law.
That sounds like a non-sense sick joke!
I don't know if my English is that bad or you don't even read what I'm saying properly. While polygamy is technically allowed there are too many restriction on it that it's basically very rare and non existance, again your argument is that it's polygamy is allowed yet not adultery, I'm telling you and repeating my self, polygamy more or less not allowed unless it has it legitimacy, (and Just for your information, the reason why polygamy was allowed in the first place, was to protect women in difficult situations such, as widows, or women that lost their family with no one to support them, in case of disease or inability and this at the time where women used to not work and couldn't support them selfs or families .....ect why of course there is always a minority and the minority that would wants to abuse the system for their own pleasure, but we cannot take such a minority as a general rule and that's what you are doing right now!

Cool! Thanks for the links!

And also, thanks for your sensible and balanced post. Indeed, the knowledge of History (as well as of other cultures) is an interesting and very important tool to put ideas into perspective.

Threw a jackknife at it

Throws two more if Homosexuality equates as acceptable is it really out of range to throw taboos such as incest and pedophilia under different radars.
What makes them so different besides a perception

Even now in many societies homosexuality along with the other two are all considered serious taboos teens are allowed to marry in Africa because of either poverty or lower life expectancy, heck even labor standards allow children in the USA to work on farms such as the Amish and this has not changed for centuries even with the changes to labor standards regarding child labor which is a byproduct of this century so its all a slippery slope between individual rights and societal values.

The right to privacy didn't even exist until 1890 when a law review article written by Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis, published in the 1890 Harvard Law Review created the concept in legal terms.
Until that point there was no concept in relation to that point.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_to_Privacy_(article)

Warren and Brandeis begin their article by introducing the fundamental principle that "the individual shall have full protection in person and in property.” They acknowledge that this is a fluid principle that has been reconfigured over the centuries as a result of political, social, and economic change.

The first three paragraphs of the essay describe the development of the common law with regard to life and property. Originally, the common law "right to life” only provided a remedy for physical interference with life and property. But later, the scope of the "right to life” expanded to recognize the "legal value of sensations.” For example, the action of battery—a protection against actual bodily injury—gave rise to the action of assault—fear of actual bodily injury. Similarly, the concept of property expanded from protecting only tangible property to intangible property.

In my opinion pedophilia does not extend onto teenagers but rather is a societal change that has occurred as an average persons lifespan increased, incest as the judge pointed out genetics which in the future could be circumvented.  

The key word was he said MAY and it very well could become accepted once again into society as it once was historically.
Outrage as Australian judge says incest, pedophilia ‘may be accepted’ by society

More on the Amish
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amish_life_in_the_modern_world

As time has passed, the Amish have felt pressures from the modern world. Child labor laws, for example, are threatening their long-established ways of life, and raise questions regarding the treatment of children in an Amish household, and also in the way the Amish view emotional and medical support. A modern society places little emphasis on the emotional and spiritual bonds found in an Amish household that bind them together as a people. There is instead a negative perception regarding how the Amish choose to view some medical conditions as being 'The Will of God', without always receiving modern medical treatment found in hospitals or medical clinics; though many Amish communities maintain communal telephones to reach others in cases of emergency. Amish children often follow in their faith's long-standing tradition of being taught at an early age to work jobs in the home on the family's land or that of the community. Children are taught the traditions of their parents or immediate family until adolescence, when they are able to go into the world and compare their family's teachings with those of the world through rumspringa. Viewed as a respectful and enduring group, the Amish still spark controversy in modern society relating to their methods of raising young children, which vary greatly from the non-Amish.

They also changed the perception of mental health and forestry so I can say that sometimes older approaches were not incorrect but changed over time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Public_Service

The CPS men objected to the mistreatment and abuse of patients and determined to improve conditions in the psychiatric wards. They wanted to show other attendants alternatives to violence when dealing with patients.

Frank Olmstead, chairman of the War Resisters League observed:

One objector assigned to a violent ward refused to take the broomstick offered by the Charge. When he entered the ward the patients crowded around asking, "Where is your broomstick?" He said he thought he would not need it. "But suppose some of us gang up on you?" The CO guessed they wouldn't do that and started talking about other things. Within a few days the patients were seen gathering around the unarmed attendant telling him of their troubles. He felt much safer than the Charge who had only his broomstick for company.

Outraged workers surveyed CPS men in other hospitals and learned of the degree of abuse throughout the psychiatric care system. Contacting church managers and government officials, the COs begin advocating for reforms to end the abuses. Conditions were exposed in institutions such as Cleveland State Hospital, Eastern State Hospital in Virginia and Hudson River State Hospital. One explained:

And the governor came in and they cleaned out the hospital. I mean, they had hearings. We all had to appear in court and all that kind of stuff. And within a month or so, the hospital was completely changed. The superintendent was fired and the new superintendent was put in, and not only did they do our hospital, they did all the hospitals, mental hospitals in Virginia.

The reformers were especially active at the Byberry Hospital in Philadelphia where four Friends initiated the The Attendant magazine as a way to communicate ideas and promote reform. This periodical later became The Psychiatric Aide, a professional journal for mental health workers. On May 6, 1946 Life Magazine printed an exposé of the mental healthcare system based on the reports of COs. Another effort of CPS, Mental Hygiene Project became the National Mental Health Foundation. Initially skeptical about the value of Civilian Public Service, Eleanor Roosevelt, impressed by the changes introduced by COs in the mental health system, became a sponsor of the National Mental Health Foundation and actively inspired other prominent citizens including Owen J. Roberts, Pearl Buck and Harry Emerson Fosdick to join her in advancing the organization's objectives of reform and humane treatment of patients.

Anyways history is full of little things like that always interesting stuff.

Rare? It may have some requirements, but it's allowed (up to 4 depending how strictly the muslims take it) as if the word "marriage", because that's all that is, a word, makes a whole difference in matters of the act itself being adultery or not.
Twisting the World to make it fit in Islam is a common practice. Islam is like a tailor that when the suit doesn't fit tries to make amendments at the customer.

And I love that "you're media misinformed" bullshit! I read the Quran and Hadeeth to see what is that about, been to Middle East, Indonesia, Malaysia... don't need to read in the papers.
From all of it, what got me more amazed is how much of a religion-lovers muslims are, they put religion above everything, parents included, and don't think much before jump into a Taqqyia-mood if see it attacked.
I don't know which parts you've missed on my comment, but I think I was clear about, you think Polygamy is a common occurrence in the arab/Islamic world as you are basing your argumentation on Polygamy, I invite again to check your facts, as you are really misinformed if you disagree, then post one static study that shows that polygamy is common in Islamic/arab world

Marriage is meaningless, is a bureaucratic bullshit and you made no point in its favor.

By the simple fact a muslim man can marry more than one woman makes him engaging multi-partner relationships. Or in other words, when he gets the second woman he is committing adultery to the first one, regardless the bullshit of marriage papers.

Again this is wrong, misinformed
-well this one might be a matter of opinion but if marriage for you just a bureaucratic bullshit, that's just your opinion and I disagree, It's more than that, it's the uniou of to people that pledge to take care of each other for life.
-As for Muslims being able to marry more, maybe you need to check the conditions for a man to be able to marry another wife, you'll be surprised and you'll understand, why polygamy is very rare and almost non existent in the islamic world

Well I find it the natural follow up to the legalization of same sex marriage in many countries...., what's next Bestiality ? ....

I found "marriage" absurd on all its extent. Marriage is nothing but a dark age attempt to force someone to stay with someone else.
It's also the bureaucratic hypocrites best thing! Take Muslims for an instance, they're mostly adulterers with strong anti-adultery laws. What would be just funny if they won't sentence anybody (women mostly) to death over that hypocrite non-sense.

Hmm I disagree, I think marriage is something important and it is part of what makes human beings, while at the same time we still have the choice of marrying or not marrying, but that's not even the point of my comments

as for the Muslim case that's totally wrong, and feel free to post a legitimate source to that claim if you have one, as for death penalty for adultery (it's not woman mostly) it's a by passed law, that you only find in tribal and extremist regions. to my knowledge the death penalty is limited to married people couples cheating and this has the same punishment in other religions such as christinans if I remember correctly you can check out Leviticus 20:10 and there tons of references I just don't remember everything , as for people that are not married it's 60 lashes or something like.
I invite you to do some reading because it's seems you are misinformed with everything that is put in the media

Crypto Liberty
Even if made legal, doesn't mean it's not taboo.
Very correct observation.


Different government have different laws on sexuality. It has nothing to do with justice, just the rules of a few gangsters with a lot of power.
 Even, within the US there are different laws. In parts of Texas, all of Alabama and various cities throughout the country, from Maine to New Mexico, the sale of sex toys as a crime.  

I said it before and i'll say it again morality is a thing of the past. Checks and balance must be returned to our judicial systems. Low life judges are sitting in high places, and it is not coincidental. Maybe now we can better understand the song "Who let the dogs out?" Funny, how no one has answered that question!!!!!

Very good points. The thing is: most people are unable to THINK clearly, they are "blind" and NEED a magic "super hero" to give the solutions to the false problems that they believe are existent in their world. Most people only feel SAFE while there is a strong DEITY ruling their lives and dictating even who they can or cannot bang. Most people are not even able to RESPECT other people unless there's the the fear of a "strong hand" ready to blow. And in order to feel a LITTLE psychological (not even real) safety, people are ready to give up their freedoms. Most people give no value to LIBERTY. They are too lazy and stupid and need someone else to think on their behalf.

This someone, this deity, this super hero is (guess who) the legislators, the judges, your politicians, the STATE. And I am so glad that I do not include myself in this "most people" category.



We have got to choose: do we want our Liberties to be respected or are we waiving them?

Life is a taxable event
Incest killed the ancient Egypt, Rome and all civilizations that let it happen. Or the sign they are about to be destroyed was the incest.

I have no doubt where it will end.

The Egyptian government has been the most stable in the history of civilization. 3000+ years of stability with the culture remaining pretty much the same (even the art).

LOL! That had nothing to do with nothing. If that would be true then Islam would be long gone.
Civilization fell out of wars, climate changes, catastrophes, plagues and so on, not sex.

Yes. Islam is an empirical prove that you don't need to be strong or intelligent to survive in this world.

All you need to do is keep breeding in your enemy country to drain their resources via welfare.

Judge in Australia says incest may no longer be a taboo and the only reason it is criminal is potential birth abnormalities, which can be solved by abortion



A judge in Australia has been criticised after saying incest may no longer be a taboo and that the community may now accept consensual sex between adult siblings.

Judge Garry Neilson, from the district court in the state of New South Wales, likened incest to homosexuality, which was once regarded as criminal and "unnatural" but is now widely accepted.

He said incest was now only a crime because it may lead to abnormalities in offspring but this rationale was increasingly irrelevant because of the availability of contraception and abortion.
"A jury might find nothing untoward in the advance of a brother towards his sister once she had sexually matured, had sexual relationships with other men and was now 'available', not having [a] sexual partner," the judge said.
"If this was the 1950s and you had a jury of 12 men there, which is what you'd invariably have, they would say it's unnatural for a man to be interested in another man or a man being interested in a boy. Those things have gone."

What can we image from people like this? What kind of culture and tradition they have? Maybe they have been raped in their first age and they want to recollect the abuse they have had.
